“I am shattered that because of my actions I've drawn women of class and integrity, and my mates, into this situation ... I own this fully and am the only one at fault,” he added.

Furthermore, the Guardian reported that both Clarke and Yarbrough were fined by the authorities because of the incident after the Queensland Police charged both of them with public nuisance.
